The story follows Andy Horn, a prospector on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, who is in search of valuable minerals while accompanied by his intelligent honey-bear, Oscar. The plot explores themes of survival, conflict, and unexpected alliances in a harsh extraterrestrial environment.  The narrative begins with Andy on a prospecting trip to Io, where he encounters danger from an unknown adversary wielding a heat ray. After a series of confrontations, he meets Frieda Dahlem, a female prospector who initially mistakes him for a claim-jumper. As they navigate threats from rival prospectors and explore the mines together, they stumble upon a hidden chamber containing radium deposits. The story weaves together their budding partnership amidst peril, highlighting their survival instincts and the discovery of past intelligent life on Io through traces left in the cavern.
